Bert’s introduction video was posted to the official Farmer Wants a Wife Instagram page, with the fourth-generation farmer taking the opportunity to introduce himself and what he is looking for.
Bert, from Wamuran, Queensland said that he chose to carry on the family tradition of pineapple and dragon fruit farming because he “didn’t want to be the one that had it end with me”.
“That’s a big driving factor for me,” he said in the footage.
Bert called himself “very lucky” to have a farm only 50 minutes out of Brisbane and 30 minutes to the beach.
“It’s the best of both worlds,” he said.
“Now that I am fully set up on the farm… finding the right person would be pretty special.
“I’ve got time up my sleeve to do things and not just focus on work 24/7.”
The 30-year-old explained that his dream girl would “fit into my life and it’d be easy and carefree”.
He said that it is important for his friends and family – particularly his nan – to love the woman he brings home.
“I also need somebody that’s independent as well. Sassy, fun outgoing, you know, preferably likes the ocean.
“But if she doesn’t, that’s also fine,” he laughed.
“Love to me feels like you want to see each other when you get home, that excitement when you come through the front door.
“Or the idea of going away together is something that I wanna be able to look forward to and, and spend more time doing.”
Fans took to the comments to marvel over Bert, with one calling him “absolutely stunning”.
“I think this is the time I submit an application,” one hopeful wrote.
Meanwhile, others began tagging friends encouraging them to apply, with a few familiar names coming up.
One follower called for 2023 contestant Rachel Boothman to apply for “round two,” writing: “This is your man”.
Rachel along with several others ‘liked’ the suggestion.
Another tagged 2022 contestant Jess Cova, who won the heart of Farmer Will, suggesting their friend Kate was fit the description Bert gave of his “ideal woman”.
“Omg!!!! Kate do it!!!!” Jess responded.
“I knew I liked pineapples for a reason, pick me, choose me, love me,” another fan commented.
“I’m moving to Queensland, bye,” added a user.
Casting is now open for single ladies looking to find their happily-ever-after with Farmer Bert or one of the other eligible farmers.

He has a heart of gold, is cheeky and loves to “take the mickey”.
Dustin describes himself as a “girlfriend guy” whose ideal partner is happy, fun-loving, thick-skinned and has a good sense of humour.

After living and working around the world, Joe’s family’s cattle and sheep farm is where his heart is.
It’s his dream to bring the farm back to its full potential.
Joe is a passionate rugby player and loves horses, fishing and travel.
A bit of a social butterfly, his charming smile and playful cheeky personality is infectious.
Family is everything to Joe; he will cancel personal plans to make time for them, which is one of the qualities he’s looking for in his future wife.
He is extremely close to his mother, whom he cared for during her breast cancer battle three years ago.
Farmer Zac, 28, Strathalbyn, South Australia

Farmer Todd, 33, Baan Ba, NSW
Third-generation beef farmer Todd wants what his parents and sister have: a happy, loving marriage with kids.

Todd’s looking for someone who’s smart, genuine, easy going, happy to enjoy the farm-life and willing to have a go.
She should also be able to take a joke as Todd will definitely give her a bit of a ribbing.
